Halotherapy

from Today’s Gut Health Tip · host Melissa Hall Klepacki, M.Ac.

Feeling ill with a cold or cough and looking for a natural way to speed healing? Try Halotherapy also known as a Himalayan Salt Room. You'll most likely change from your street clothes into a robe and barefoot you'll enter a salt room for 40-60 minutes.  You can lay on the ground on a bed of salt or sit in a chair with your feet in the coarse salt while inhaling micro-particles of salt.  Those micro-particles will enter your body and cleanse the upper respiratory tract.  You might notice you cough a little more after your session but that is your body cleaning out your mucus or infection. Obviously if you are very ill or with a fever you'll need to wait so you don't infect others and you'll want to see your doctor to make sure it is not something more serious.
